hey there, i'm in harrisburg pa. well not really just a bit south. well southeast.. well........nevermind. but, i'm cool with traveling anywhere but jersey. something just feels weird about that state. no offense folks.

I'm not concerned with what is more central - I'm looking for convenience for whoever wants to meet. There are four of us so far, and possibly five if Rumblemonk wants to come in from Harrisburg.

I don't know if the Rosslyn Ledo is near the Rosslyn Metro stop (or if anyone will be taking Metro). Rosslyn is across the bridge from Georgetown and somewhat easier for parking. (Which may mean driving around for 10 minutes instead fo a half hour.) Fairfax, being suburban, may be better for drivers. Has anyone been to Ledo's in Fairfax?

My preference would be Ledo's in Wheaton, Maryland because I can walk there. And I've been there, and it's not far from Wheaton Metro.

Aquazoo- it doesn't much matter to me since I'd be coming from the sticks, anyway. But I grew up in Arlington and am familiar with it, thus that idea from me. I've lived all over D.C., so I'd be able to find my way to any of the area Ledo's. (I just Googled Ledo's and got a few.) Fairfax is actually closer to me, but maybe not so for the others in the area.

Maybe we should start a greater metropolitan D.C. thread here to see if anyone else could join us. I have met quite a few Pennsylvanians in this area, too.

What I'm trying to do here is to get people to say what would be best for them, rather than guessing what might be better for someone else. That's why I'm asking if Metro accessibility is important. Nobody has said that they will only take Metro, so I guess everyone is driving?

And where is the Fairfax Ledo? Is it near the beltway or is it way-the-heck-out-there?

I'm not sure where people check or how they find various threads. I'm in Maryland, but since Virginia was nearby I decided to check it out. Is there a broader place to announce a meeting? Seems like all the other ones are in the "meetings" section, too.

None of them are my most immediate local Ledos, so I can't speak to crowdedness. I was thinking late afternoon rather than night, that way if anyone is driving in from, say, Pennsylvania, it won't be too late. And places are generally not crowded around 3 or 4 pm.

Because you never know with these things - five of us are discussing it, and then 20 people may show up. Afternoons tend to be more flexible when we start rearranging the furniture & pulling tables together.
